This was an amazing, surprise discovery when trying to find the visitors center on my way to visit Diamond Lake. I could not imagine what the two huge buildings were used for!The large complex houses a modest sized museum that tells the history of the area and displays fossils that were found while building the Diamond Lake Reservoir. The movie theater was cool with rock seats and the artifacts were very interesting. It could be a bit pricey for a family at $8 for adults, $6.50 for seniors and $6 for kids 5 to 12. Kids under five are free. The hills around the area are verdant green and hopefully the wildflowers will be prolific this spring. There are several hiking trails around the lake, but not much else.Diamond lake is the largest reservoir in California but has no camping or day use, family-friendly facilities. It's basically a boater or fisherman's place. Sad.

Very interesting yet small museum of the local dinosaurs digs just before they flooded the valley to make the Diamond Valley Lake.
-
It is interesting Hemet history of how Diamond Lake came to Hemet, people who have lived here and the interesting animal bones found when the Lake was unconstruction. However, I have lived in Hemet all my life and so I'm sure that is part of why it is so interesting to me, I don't really know how interesting out of towners will find it.

The museum has artifacts from the excavation for Diamond Valley Dam. It holds community programs, and provides information to the public.

This a great place to see the way the damn was built and to see the fossils they found. the time frame to collect the fossils was very short, The Science Center shows how they delveloped a new way to collect them.

Valleywide recreation and Park District has a swim park right across the street from this museum. What a great place to play. Highly recommend both venues

This museum is next to the Diamond Valley Lake Visitors Center and has the dinosaur bones that were unearthed during the digging of the lake. It gives you how they were discovered and has a lot of education facilities on the grounds. Contains history on how the region was formed and what animals roamed it. It has a special temporary display section that changes every couple of months. The display we saw was The Beatles. It had all of their trips, records, shows and you could listen to their music. It was well done. The guide has great knowledge. The fees are high for the space. Adults-$8, Seniors-$6.50 and Children $6. Military are free with active ID. The complex is very huge but houses mostly education facilities so the museum is small. The movies could have better sound. It is however very informative and worth a trip.

This museum is a little out of the way and if you weren't looking specifically for it you would miss it. I would recommend this more for children, especially between 8-10 yrs of age. There is one section that is free with a lot of hands on for the kids to try and the other side there is a nominal fee with dinosaur artifacts. Good way for a family to spend a Sunday afternoon going thru.

This gourgeus museum displaying historical artifacts found while digging one of the largest reservoirs in the USA is remarkable.

Explained how the Diamond Valley dam was built. Also showed relics of dinosaurs found in area as well as local history. Beautiful desert surroundings
